๐Ÿ›ข Exploding Barrels

Destructible barrels are now placed throughout the Zombie Graveyard map.

Shoot or melee them to ignite โ€” they burn, then explode, dealing area

damage to anything nearby. Full multiplayer replication, Niagara VFX,

and layered fire/explosion audio.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Ammo Crate

Run out of ammo mid-wave? Ammo Crates are now available in the map.

Interact with one to refill your weapon in exchange for credits.

On-screen prompts guide you through the purchase. An audio cue confirms

success โ€” or warns you when you're short on credits.

๐Ÿ”ง FIXES

๐Ÿ–ฑ Right-Click No Longer Tabs Out

Opening the Settings menu while aiming could cause the game window to

lose focus. Mouse lock is now enforced while any menu is open.

๐ŸŽฎ Character No Longer Drifts After Menus

Input from held keys (such as W/A/S/D) was occasionally carried into

gameplay after closing a menu. Pressed inputs are now properly flushed

on menu close.

โš™๏ธ Settings Now Match Actual Render Quality on First Launch

On a fresh install, the game now runs a quick hardware benchmark at

startup and sets a performance-appropriate graphics level. This fixes

a mismatch where the Settings menu showed Medium while the game was

actually rendering at Epic quality. Returning players are unaffected โ€”

your existing settings are preserved.
